The Dynamic World of Temping
July 20, 2011

by Lisha Snelgrove, Branch Manager - Calgary

As a seasoned recruiter, I've often heard from candidates in our Vancouver and Calgary offices about their perception of what "temping" is - often times, that perception is incorrect.

Have you ever wondered if working temp jobs is for you and what it is really all about? Temping is an opportunity like no other! It is a chance to challenge yourself in todays competitive and exciting job market.

As part of your job search strategy or as a lifestyle choice, you can work when and where you want. Whether you are a world traveler residing in Vancouver or Calgary on a work visa, a local resident exploring different career options or you simply enjoy the flexibility of choosing when and where to work, being a Templine "temp" or "contract employee" can secure you a position quickly and easily.

Here are some key benefits of temping:

• Flexibility for those who may have other part-time career ambitions.
• Stable employment while here on a working holiday Visa.
• The ability to try out different work environments, industries and/or types of positions.
• A chance to develop your marketable skills by gaining practical,hands-on experience.
• Excellent opportunity for student employment on holiday breaks or in between semesters.
• Our Temp to Perm option also allows you to "try" a permanent position before you commit.
• Great opportunity for those re-entering the workforce.

We asked one of our Temporary team members, what her experience has been to date. Tara P., a professional actor, had this to say about representing Angus One & Templine:

"Working for Angus One has allowed me the freedom to pursue my true passion. In being able to set my own work schedule, I've found a balance between meeting my financial obligations and working towards my personal, life-long goals."
